My Trach (Tracheostomy) tube needs suctioning NOW!!!!!
Days later I wrote this.....
Please show me how to suction the trach tube for myself.

This is way up there in my memory of trying to communicate that I felt that I could no longer breathe and felt like I was drowning.
Once I resorted to letting something drop to the floor from my tray to get attention!!
The app is a wonderful idea.
